Yes! Our platform is completely free for individuals and nonprofits.

Giving Connection is for anyone who wants to get involved, find help, or make a difference:

Nonprofits on our platform select their own categories from a list of causes and services inspired by the IRS’s National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) system. This helps ensure consistency while allowing organizations to represent their work accurately.

If you don’t see a specific cause or service that matches your needs, please email us at info@givingconnection.org. We’re always open to feedback and may be able to add new categories over time.

The green check mark next to a nonprofit’s name indicates that the information listed has been reviewed and verified by that nonprofit. When reviewing a nonprofit profile without a green check mark, we encourage users to visit the nonprofit’s website to verify the information listed and ensure it’s up to date.

We do not guarantee outcomes and are not responsible for the services, conduct, or performance of any referred organizations. Please use your own judgment when engaging with any third-party organization.

Click “Add a Nonprofit” at the top of the page to get started. A representative from your organization should complete the form, including the name and email of the designated Profile Admin who will manage your nonprofit’s listing.

Once we verify your organization, we’ll reach out to the Profile Admin to set up your account. You can expect to hear from us within 3–5 business days.

We verify nonprofits by confirming their 501(c)(3) status and reviewing the information provided against publicly available sources such as the IRS database and the organization’s website.

Once a nonprofit has been verified by its own representative and reviewed by our team, a green check mark appears next to its name. This indicates the information has been reviewed and confirmed by the organization itself.

Please note: While we verify basic eligibility and accuracy, we do not guarantee outcomes or the quality of services provided. Always use your own judgment when engaging with any third-party organization.
